Google’s Android Market continues to grow at an exponential rate. And for those looking to differentiate themselves from the pack and stay PC so-to-speak, the Samsung Galaxy tablet computer is the newest business tool making waves. Here are five of the top apps that will meet your daily business needs.

A mobile device is the most freeing piece of technology when performing everyday tasks. However, because you’re constantly moving a tablet device, it is always susceptible to outside threats. That’s why it’s important to have the latest and greatest app for protecting your passwords and sensitive information. With Keeper Password & Data Vault, you can rest assured that you’ll have just that. It offers 128-bit AES military-grade encryption; mobile sync over a Wi-Fi to your home and office computers to ensure critical information is always at your fingertips; import and export capabilities that take and encrypt data into plain text files for easy and secure backups; and a self-destruct mode that, if activated, will erase all data after five unsuccessful attempts (but will not affect other data on your computer or device and may also be restored by using the app’s backup and restore features). Basic features are free, while premium features, after the 30-day free trial, can be purchased for $29.99 a year.

If you work in sales or real estate, meet with clients on a daily basis, or simply need something that will help you remember significant anecdotes, it’s important to have a solid note-taking application that’s easily accessible and simple to use with numerous features that go beyond the keyboard. With Evernote, you’ll be able to manage and organize everything you encounter throughout your day. It’s possible thanks to features that include syncing with the cloud so everything is always at your fingertips via mobile, Web, or the office; to-do lists to stay on track along with voice memos that may be stored within the program for easy accessibility; and a search function that allows you to tag and attach keywords and titles to all notes taken that day. The app also gives you the power to capture screenshots of Web pages for later viewing.

It’s easy to overload your tablet computer with unnecessary data that ties up memory and slows down your tablet device. Ensure that your tablet is running at top speed by using CacheMate to free up tons of space. This handy app includes “auto clear,” which allows you to set wipe times for hassle-free automatic cache clearing in 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-, or 48-hour intervals. If you really want to go the distance and don’t really care about cache data, you can use PowerClear to completely and without prejudice clear out all app caches without consideration of the caches you might like to keep.

Having insurance for your tablet device is one thing, but having complete, secure coverage for your data is paramount. That’s why MyBackup Pro is a must-have app to ensure safe and easy backups of your tablet's important data. This app allows you to quickly and easily restore remotely from the cloud or via RerWare’s online secured servers in case your tablet has been lost, stolen, or damaged. You can also back up application APK install files and view data and applications by way of the device itself or online without the need to continue backing up the same information over and over.

Having the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’ll never forget anything ever again would seem downright crazy to most. However, as long as you don’t forget your tablet, it’s possible. Although LogMeIn Ignition is a bit pricey for an app, it may be worth every penny to know you’ll have every bit of information from your desktop and/or laptop computers when on the road. LogMeIn Ignition is a one-click app that allows you to connect and control everything on your work computers right from your tablet device. Need to get technical? LogMeIn Ignition also allows you to access company servers without the need to configure routers or virtual private networks.
